You have been asked to speak at a local organization about the electronic health record. You have been asked "Why has it taken so long to use computerized health records - other industries have conducted business by computer for a long time." How will you answer?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary. There have been security concerns, with the fear of hackers or viruses doing damage to the data; it takes a long time to learn how to use an electronic record; and physicians feel it is too time-consuming and too costly to implement an electronic system. Also, there had to be a uniform or standard computer language used in an electronic health record so that information can be shared with other care providers. The business aspects of healthcare (billing, for instance) have been computerized for quite some time.
